On Thanksgiving Night

On Thanksgiving night, I went to bed
Having enjoyed good companionship and food
Completely satisfied and content
I shared with Heavenly Father a bit of this mood

Then... I opened the scriptures and love poured out
And I feasted on the words with gratitude
...Reminders of creation and what we're about
And, now of Thanksgiving, I've a new attitude

In one thing, today, I had been amiss
For I'd not sought for God all around me
A walk through nature, the sky... heaven's bliss
For surely, this is ours to enjoy and to see

So, tomorrow, is Thanksgiving two
I plan to become breathless upon a high hill
There to thank my Heavenly Father all anew
For His glorious creation, for the view...and for more still
